Birthday (Score:3, Funny)

God bless the Moz. LOL I don't know how he tolerates us sometimes! I'm sure a 50th birthday is the kind of thing a person would prefer to be swept quietly under the rug as just another day but here are all these plans- a back up concert, a Moz art fest, a commerative medallion... and after the release of "It's Not Your Birthday Anymore". But fans mean all the silly syrupy sentimental things we say about him. I almost pity him because we are clearly off our rockers! Please don't be offended, I say this with humor. I just had to get it out- we are touched in the head.

Thankfully they picked one of the decent pictures of me. We did do a graveyard shoot as well, to kind of try to portray the image of Moz hunched over a gravestone which has his own name on it. Know the one I mean? But those photos didn't turn out so well, due to the locals acting strange about it.

Thanks Tom.

This website takes the biscuit. "A chance to shine" for dedicated acolytes and it is reduced to personal attacks about people's mental health and xenophobic rubbish.... allied with a bit of female objectification to boot.

Hmmm, I detect some jealousy on this particular topic. We are all Morrissey fans and nobody is a 'bigger' Morrissey fanatic than the other.
As my dear old other would say 'Nobody is better than anybody else.'

You'd be surprised how many fans he has left. Have you been to a concert recently? Or have you ever been to a Morrissey concert? I doubt it very much.
